Thank you Colin,
I was aware of that one, and there was one in St Johns Bedwardine, Worcester. I had another Thread and the Rootschatters put a lot of effort into it. The Worcester couple appeared to have lived in Worcester until the late 1700's without issue.
Thats why I started afresh and included it under England, because the family movement was northwards from Llandogo to Mitcheltroy and Whitchurch, Herefordshire and then east into Forest of Dean for 19th Century and beyond. No movement west into Monmouthshire with all it's industry.
The Dukes of Beaufort were, and may still be, major landowners in the West Country and up to Worcester. Then, my people may have worked for them.
One intriguing item was in 1757, an entry in Mitcheltroy Parish Disbursements for a shroud and burial of one 'phile' Griffiths. For years I assumed that referred to Tassee Griffiths born 1747. Subsequently I realised that she died in Whitchurch, Herefdsh. 1827, unmarried. aged 80. One very bright Rootschatter suggested 'phile' was Philip Griffiths, born 1660, died 1757, aged 97, buried at Llantilio Crosseny. No doubt an ancient relative living with the family 1757.
